- Disappointing
The point of this podcast is to take classic Hollywood films and compare them to today’s imperfect sensibilities. This translates to every movie being sexist and racist. Pretty dull.

United Statesa year ago - This….is a podcast
Two people with zero experience or authority on film got bored and started a podcast. They have no use for OSCAR choices, so they chose to focus on nominated films.
One of them had never seen CITIZEN KANE before- that’s how little they have experienced classic movies.
If they hate musicals, or other genres - DON’T WATCH THEM! How could such a biased review be useful.
These people have mostly bad things to say about some of the best movies ever, but - hey, they loved MAGIC MIKE.

Contemporary woke analysis of old movies - thanks but no thanks.
Apple Podcasts1angrylfUnited States2 years ago - Not as good as it could be
The hosts have great rapport with each other and can be very funny. I wish they did even a basic level of looking things up on Wikipedia though. They’re not that knowledgeable about film history and it shows again and again. Lastly, the profanity is intense even for me and I have a mouth like a sailor.
Apple Podcasts3OxfordspliceUnited States3 years ago - Love this podcast!
I listen to several podcasts about movies, and I tend to gravitate toward those podcasts that deconstruct, and analyze, all the aspects of any given film. I am, apparently, a movie nerd. I am not sure how I missed this one, because Suzan and David are funny and astute and willing to speak truth to classics! I applaud them foe slogging through horrible movies. We all know the Academy has nominated movies for, and awarded the Oscar to, some very badly made films. Those episodes are hilarious! Yet,... more
